{Glade Expressions - A Review}

I was recently given the opportunity from BzzzAgent to try the new line by Glade - Glade Expressions.



I tried the Lavender and Juniper Berry Fragrance Mist and the Pineapple and Mangosteen Oil Diffuser.  The mist smells fresh and works for quite a long time.  I have been using it mainly in the bathroom with the kitty litter box and it really helps it to smell better.  It's not overly sweet or fake smelling.

I have been using the oil difusser at work.  I LOVE the pineapple and mangosteen scent.


I love the bamboo diffuser.  It is very stylish.  I have a small office, so the scent is almost overwhelming.  I am planning on taking it home and using it in the living/kitchen area.  I have had several people comment on the scent and ask me what I was eating.

A cool feature to both of these products is the ability to refill them both.

I have 7 $2.00 coupons for  the mist starter kit and 7 $4.00 coupons for the diffuser kit.  They expire On April 30, 2013.  If you would like to have one, leave me a message in the comments with your email.

{I was provided coupons for free product.  I was not compensated.  All opinions are 100% mine.}

{The Vocabulary of a Three Year Old}

My son, Jaxon (pronounced Jackson), turned three on Thanksgiving.  He started talking late, but once he did - whew, that kid talks non-stop.  Lately he's been using words that we don't use at our house.  They aren't necessarily "bad" words.  We are just surprised to hear them.

Jaxon's new words:

Hate - He said "I hate (insert friend's name)."  This one got me a little upset.  I asked him where he learned that word.  He just kept saying it.  I told him that is a strong word.  Strong in a bad way and he shouldn't use it.  His response:  ignoring me.  I dropped it and just hope it doesn't come up again in the near future.

Girlfriend - He said something about someone having a girlfriend.  He's in preschool.  Do they talk about girlfriends?  Maybe one of his teachers is someone's girlfriend.  I don't know.

Little Lady - I was sitting in our bedroom floor waiting to play with him.  Jaxon walks up to me and hands me a toy, saying "Here you go little lady."  I just about fell over laughing.

Butt - He is obsessed with this word.  We try to say bottom or behind.  I know we slip every once in a while.  This past Sunday, we went to Quizno's to eat before doing our grocery shopping.  He stood up in his chair and started singing and dancing.  What was he singing?  "Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your butt.  Butt. Butt.  Wiggle, wiggle."  All the while, he was wiggling his butt.  I have to admit I really did want to laugh, because he's pretty darn cute wiggling, but I'm not sure he should have been singing about his butt that loud in public.



What are your kids saying that makes you laugh or cringe?  I would love to hear your stories in the comments.

Now, about my lovely last weekend . . . . .

On Friday and Saturday night, we had a huge bonfire.  We love to sit around the fire and have a glass of wine and watch Jaxon play in the dark.






On Saturday, we drove for about 45 minutes out into the country and visited the Swans.







Sunday, we ate lunch with my in-laws and did a little grocery shopping.  No pictures of that, although I really do need to take new pics of Mike's parents with Jaxon.  That will be the mission this weekend, if we see them.  I do have cute pics of Jaxon making pancakes by himself (sorta) and then adding chocolate syrup and eating them!  ;)


I hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I will be able to post a recipe or two next week.  Plus I have Jaxon's Valentines to make and a printable.
